Overview

Controlled feeding trial reveals hybridization enhances growth and rumen fermentation in crossbred lambs, highlighting precision nutrition strategies for livestock cultivation.

Key Points

  • Crossbred sheep exhibited enhanced growth performance and lower feed-to-gain ratio, accompanied by higher acetate, propionate, and papilla height in the rumen.
  • Total volatile fatty acids increased markedly while ammonia nitrogen decreased across 48 crossbred and purebred lambs evaluated over the 95-day trial period.
  • Comparative metagenomics profiling showed prevotella enrichment and enhanced fiber digestion, supporting precision nutrition strategies for crossbred sheep.
